What Republican Insiders Say About Haley Taking on Trump

And apparently it’s an emotion that Nikki Haley, the governor of SC, the Republican governor, also feels because in her response to President Obama’s State of the Union, she also brought up the divisiveness in this country, and she seemed to single out Donald Trump. On Tuesday night, Haley said that Americans should resist “the siren call of the angriest voices” in how they treat immigrants. He continued, “Over the years she’s asked me for a hell of a lot of money in campaign contributions”, Trump said.

Rave reviews for Gov. Nikki Haley’s State of the State response is entrenching talk about the South Carolina Republican becoming a vice presidential pick later this year.

“I am very angry because our country is being run horribly and I will gladly accept the mantle of anger”, Trump said. In fact, given the context, she might have meant to refer not to immigrants at all, but merely to people visiting the country on ordinary visas-in which case she didn’t really say anything wrong at all.

“But I disagree with her politically and obviously she disagrees with me politically on immigration”, Trump said. Take it of you want.

The Haley criticism will probably help Trump with GOP-leaning primary voters who are fundamentally fed up with politics as usual, however, as has been widely reported by many media outlets.

Standing her ground, Coulter insisted, “The law is the law, and I don’t care how many people agree with me”.

“That is a pro-growth agenda for the American people, one that reaches out and tries to attract more people for our cause”, Thune said. She also hewed closely to GOP demands in the immigration debate, saying: “That does not mean we just flat out open our borders”, and said the Usa should refuse entry to refugees “whose intentions can not be determined”.

“And now you epitomize the very establishment that you promised to change”, she argued. That’s not their explicit goal, and Haley, in particular, drew a backlash from some conservatives for her State of the Union rebuttal.

As for the 2016 GOP presidential hopefuls, Jeb Bush and Chris Christie issued words of support for the SC governor. She said: “He was one of them”.

As a result, talk the morning after her address centered on Haley’s vice presidential ambitions. King is a strong conservative foe of efforts to overhaul the immigration system. I used to say that when they said it about Mitt Romney, because he wasn’t Washington establishment.

“I consider Mr. Trump a friend”. They see terrorism as a threat but not an existential one – as Obama declared, “The United States of America is the most powerful nation on Earth”.

“Trump should deport Nikki Haley”, tweeted conservative commentator Ann Coulter during the middle of Governor Haley’s speech Tuesday night.

Trump told Fox News that Haley, who turns 44 next week, was not off to a good start if she wants to be his running mate.
